We’re proud to be Canadian.

From Brantford in particular, if you want to get down to brass tacks about it.

Our city knows how to work hard, pick itself up, shake the dust off and try it again if things don’t work out the first time. We’re scrappy, resourceful and know that as long as you leave by 6 PM, you can still make it to Port Dover in time for an Arbor dog.

With so many great things to celebrate for Canada’s 150th, we wanted to share some close-to-home ideas for your long weekend ahead. For you unfortunate folks like Andy & Kate who will still be working hard – please know that we’ll think of you briefly at some point as we’re off doing some of the really fun things listed below.

Let’s Party like its 1867.

Happy 150th Canada!!

It’s a big birthday and we’re going to make sure it goes down in the books as a good one.

Starting Friday, the city of Brantford is hosting an impressive Canada Day weekend lineup. Live entertainment (and lots of it!), beer tent, midway, marketplace & Canadian Eats – need we say more?

Looking for a place to happen (upon)? Make some stops along the way (at these super cool places).

Family raft trips, canoe trips, kayak trips, river tubing, stand up paddle-board trips and campsites along the Grand River.

This family-run business offers great outdoor adventures, an easy reservation system and an experience you won’t forget. Go to their site, see the gigantic list of options, and book online – you won’t be disappointed.

This place is more exciting than opening day at Dairee Delite.

Since turning 150 won’t likely happen for you, get out there and make some memories – and who wouldn’t remember wine-tasting observatory tours, axe-throwing and glamping in a Wilderness pod?

Port Dover

This charming little town is jam-packed full of chic little shops, watercraft rentals, a substantial beach and loads of fun. Check out some of the great restaurants such as the Crepe House and the famous beach-friendly Arbor Restaurant. Get yourself an Arbor dog and Cherry Glow – you can thank us later.

Located in Port Dover – this challenging obstacle course includes suspension bridges, cargo nets, tarzan swings, lumberjack logs and zip-lines. Basically, it’s a giant aerial jungle gym that adults can play on without fear of playground-shaming.

Check out the website for a list of things to bring & how to book, throw the family in the car and get going!

Have a very happy Canada Day from us at Andrew & Kate Real Estate!

Be sure to stay tuned for more posts on upcoming events and other great information from our local Brantford area.

CLIENT REVIEWS

We love working with Andrew and Kate! They are super pro and have what it takes to get the job done! Thanks for the hard work! Most definitely will be calling on them again when it comes time to buy or sell.

From start to finish, Andrew, Kate and Jamie were an amazing team to work with in the sale of my home! They each brought their area of expertise to the table to provide a full package. They guided me through every step of the process and were consummate professionals offering their knowledge, skills and unique talents to ensure my home was well-presented and well-represented on the market. They were dedicated and worked hard to produce the best result. My home sold for substantially over asking in just a few days! I could not have been happier with the process or outcome! I would highly recommend this exemplary team for anyone selling or buying a home!

Amazing customer service. Positive, but genuine and honest feedback. Not only helped with purchase of home, but with helping us find contractors for different renovation jobs, as well as introducing us to the neighborhood. After closing, Kate continued to follow up to see how things were. Would definitely recommend.

Sara and I had a wonderful experience working with the Andrew and Kate team. They took time to understand our needs, explained items clearly, had an up to date strategy that worked in this crazy environment, and were responsive to our questions. We would highly recommend them for your next real estate transaction! Plus, a super cool gift at our closing! Thanks Andy and Kate!
